Arrogant asshole is the term I would use to describe you. |

You're right 99% of the time, but that's not much help (IMO) if you're pissing people off when being so. |

On the (admittedly rare) occasions on which you're factually wrong, you don't admit it, fess up and take it on the head. You were factually wrong once or twice a while back and I thought about pulling you up on it, but I thought "new, it ain't worth the effort, he won't accept it". On one of those occasions I wouldn't have been surprised if you discouraged the OP (who was a newcomer or an irregular poster here) from coming back here for help. |

When it comes to matters of opinion, in which there is room for debate and disagreement, you're still aggressive in your assertions. It *is* a matter of opinion, yet you always claim to be "right". I wouldn't blame Indi or anyone for being offended by the way you write. You come across as totally self-righteous. |

I thought you were aware of this. You frequently boast about what a hard-man, wizened old Unix guru you are, and how "my bosses put up with my shit because I'm the best" &c &c. I would never work with you, and I would take satisfaction in the opportunity to snub you. |

Of course it is better to be right than to be wrong, but if you can express yourself in a humble manner then it sets you up safe for when you do fall over, something which happens to everybody. |

I honestly didn't think you cared what most people think of you, although you do act very matey with one or two of your favorite buddies sometimes, like this list is a boys club that you share them. |

Only saying since you asked - I've held my tongue for a long time. |
